Your Frost Giants Cryo Lager Label Peelers Original Extract Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
Craft your own bold lager with the King of the Frost Giants Cryo Lager Beer Kit, an innovative extract kit that combines the precision of brewing science with the intense flavors of premium cryogenic hops. This brew stands out with a clean, crisp lager finish balanced by a hop-forward profile, ideal for those who appreciate a robust and aromatic beer.
With an ABV of 6.0% - 6.5% and an IBU of 100+, this lager delivers a hearty punch of bitterness, making it perfect for hop enthusiasts. The Original Gravity (OG) of 1.060 and Final Gravity (FG) of 1.010 ensure a satisfying body and finish, while the SRM of 7 presents a light amber hue, reflecting the careful malt balance.
The foundation of this lager begins with Pilsner Dry Malt Extract (DME) and Pale Dry Malt Extract (DME), providing a clean, crisp malt base. The addition of Munich Malt, Vienna Malt, and Caramel Malt imparts subtle depth and a touch of sweetness, giving the beer complexity without overwhelming the hop-forward profile.
When it comes to hops, Citra®, Cryo Mosaic®, Cryo Simcoe®, and Cryo Citra® come together to create an unparalleled hop experience. The hops bring out an explosive floral and citrusy aroma, while the cryogenic hops (which preserve the intense oils and flavors) provide a cleaner, more vibrant hop character. From the bold bitterness of the Citra® at the 60-minute mark to the vibrant dry hop of Cryo Citra® after fermentation, each stage brings its own layer of hop-driven intensity.
Finally, W-34/70 Weihenstephan Lager Yeast ensures a smooth fermentation, allowing the hops to shine while providing a well-rounded lager profile. The result is a beer that is clean, crisp, and full of character, with a finish that’s smooth and refreshing, leaving you with a lingering hop bitterness that beckons for another sip.
Perfect for brewers looking to create a craft beer experience with an edge, the King of the Frost Giants Cryo Lager Beer Kit offers an exciting brew with exceptional quality and flavor.
